Investor, Student

I’m curious about how ideas and technology can shape the world around us. As an engineering student, I’ve explored projects in clean energy, communication, and smart power systems—but what excites me most is turning complex concepts into something meaningful for people. I love sparking conversations, exchanging perspectives, and being part of communities like TED that celebrate curiosity and change.

Curiosity, conversations and ideas that bring people together. I love exploring different perspectives , asking questions that go beyond the obvious, and finding meaning in everyday experiences.

Ideas gain power only when they are shared and technology should be a bridge not a barrier

I’ve always been drawn to ideas that make me pause, question, and see the world differently. For me, TED represents more than just talks—it’s a space where curiosity meets courage, and where people share not just solutions but visions for a better future. I joined TED because I believe ideas become powerful when they’re shared openly, challenged honestly, and carried forward by a community that cares. My story is still being written, but I hope to contribute by listening deeply, learning widely, and sparking conversations that inspire change.

Many people don't know that I am good at sports such as cricket and football. I love watching Formula 1
